Hi Luca,

I am using ntop 3.2

As far as I can tell Ntop does not support all of the metrics that
nProbe_v4 is able to report on when operated in v9 mode. For example, if
I include %NW_LATENCY_USEC in the flow template I find that Ntop will
categorize the flow data as using a "Unknown Template" and discard it.

Are the metrics that Ntop 3.2 can accept documented anywhere? I haven't
been able to locate any literature on the subject and have been using
trial and error to refine a flow template definition that will work well
with Ntop. The current nProbe config I'm testing doesn't seem to be
causing any discards. Here's what it looks like:

./nprobe -G -n127.0.0.1:2056 -i eth1 -T "%IN_BYTES %IN_PKTS %FLOWS
%PROTOCOL %SRC_TOS %TCP_FLAGS %IPV4_SRC_ADDR %SRC_MASK %IPV4_DST_ADDR
%DST_MASK %LAST_SWITCHED  %FIRST_SWITCHED %OUT_BYTES %OUT_PKTS
%TOTAL_BYTES_EXP %TOTAL_PKTS_EXP %TOTAL_FLOWS_EXP %DIRECTION %FRAGMENTED
%NW_LATENCY_SEC %APPL_LATENCY_SEC %IN_PAYLOAD %OUT_PAYLOAD %ICMP_FLAGS
%SIP_CALL_ID %SIP_CALLING_PARTY %SIP_CALLED_PARTY %SIP_RTP_CODECS
%SIP_INVITE_TIME %SIP_TRYING_TIME %SIP_RINING_TIME %SIP_OK_TIME
%SIP_ACK_TIME %SIP_RTP_SRC_PORT %SIP_RTP_DST_PORT %SIP_FIRST_SSRC
%SIP_FIRST_TS %SIP_LAST_SSRC %SIP_LAST_TS %SIP_IN_JITTER %SIP_OUT_JITTER
%SIP_IN_PKT_LOST %SIP_OUT_PKT_LOST %SIP_IN_MAX_DELTA %SIP_OUT_MAX_DELTA"
